LP Safety Valve
A Low-Pressure (LP) Safety Valve is a critical safety component designed to release excess pressure from low-pressure gas systems, such as propane (LPG) and natural gas tanks, ensuring safe operation.
Types of LP Safety Valves
- LP Gas Pressure Relief Valve – Prevents overpressure in propane and butane gas systems.
- Excess Flow Valve (EFV) – Stops excessive gas flow in case of leaks.
- Spring-Loaded LP Relief Valve – Automatically opens when pressure exceeds safe limits.
Functions of an LP Safety Valve
- Prevents overpressure buildup in propane and LPG systems.
- Enhances system safety by automatically venting excess gas.
- Protects against leaks and sudden gas flow surges.
Common Applications
- LPG storage tanks in residential and commercial setups.
- Propane-powered appliances like stoves, heaters, and grills.
- Industrial gas distribution systems.
Maintenance & Safety Tips
- Inspect valves regularly for wear or leaks.
- Ensure proper installation to avoid gas leaks.
- Replace faulty or worn-out valves immediately.
- Keep the valve area clean and free from debris.
